We were lucky enough to chat with Owl City's singer/songwriter, Adam Young, at Arthur Ashe Kids Day where he, The Wanted, Carly Rae Jepsen, Mindless Behavior and others rocked the house with amazing performances! Behind the scenes, Adam talked to us about the success of his third album, Midsummer Station, and the inspiration behind it and how that infectious summer-hit "Good Time" with Carly Rae came to be!
J-14: So we hear you knew Carly Rae before the song happened? How did that all come about?
Adam: We were fans of each others' music, and at the time, she had just been signed to her management who my manager knows. Both managers were friends. They kind of put us together on more of a business side, and the song just kind of happened.
J-14: Why is the album called Midsummer Station?
Adam: It's kind of an abstract title for a good reason because it's sort of an open-ended idea that makes you maybe feel a certain way. It's all about the imagery. It's all about "What is it?" It kind of means something to you in your own head. Everyone's perception hopefully is different.
